Cry, Or Better Yet Beg
chapter 17 is like a surprise gift

Leyla Mr. Remmer is invited to the duke's party.

The rumors quickly spread among the citizens of Arvis. Everyone was initially confused, but in the end, they expressed their sympathy to Leyla. The people who live in Arvis know very well how Lady Brandt treats the miserable Leyla like her dog.

“I don't understand why all nobles are so evil.”

Hearing the news, Ma Mona the cook rushed straight to the cabin that afternoon. The news came suddenly to Bill Remmer, who was taking a break from the heat of the day.

“The nobles said that they were attentive, but how intimidated would Leyla be if she was in such a place?”

“Leyla is not the type of child who is easily intimidated by such things. He can only show his face for a while and come back.”

“Uh. The male. They know nothing!”

Ms. Mona shed tears while Bill scratched his neck and turned off his cigarette.

“Let's show them what they deserve!”

“What do you mean?”

“What do you think I mean? With Leyla's good looks, let's defeat the noble ladies.”

“No, why are you so....”.

"I know that. Are you thinking of sending Leyla to the party in her uniform?”

What's wrong with school uniforms?

As Bill put on a puzzled expression, Mona shook her head and shook her head.

“See this, Bill Remmer. Don't you think you should know how to raise girls now, after all these years?”

“What do you mean princess? I just... Still thinking about where to send it..”.1

"certain. That's the kind of thinking you do. You'll think when you send Leyla on her wedding day, think when you hold her kids, and think even when you're in your coffin.”

"NO! How could you possibly send that little girl to the wedding! You talk nonsense.”

Mistress Mona's lips softened after seeing Bill's heated anger.

“And you said she wasn't your daughter. You are a man that I really can't understand.”

“If you keep talking nonsense, go.”

“Let's buy her a pickup dress, Mr. Remmer. Like a surprise gift. She chick. How happy is he?”

Said Ms. Mona firmly as if it was an order.

“Leyla is not the type of child who likes to ask for dresses, and you are not the type of person who cares, so I have no choice but to report. I'll help you.”

"…… How?"

“If you pay for the dress, I will prepare it for her.”1

“Then please.”

While grumbling, Bill went into the house and took out his wallet. He always keeps money in the cabin because he doesn't trust the bank.

Leyla, who had been in a goat pen, returned when Ms. Mona steadily received money to buy the dress, including her shoes. The two hurriedly hid a trace of their deal and pretended.

Leyla offers him a cup of tea, but Madame Mona refuses and leaves the cabin. Meanwhile, Bill hides his wallet in his back pocket.

“Did Madame Mona nag you again about me? I rarely climb trees these days.”

Leyla asked anxiously after sitting on the chair next to Bill.

“Not like that, so don't worry.”

Bill cleared his throat and lit a cigarette that had been extinguished for a while.

"I'm glad to hear it."

Leyla smiled and leaned back into her chair after taking off her hat.

This summer, Bill is thrilled to see the Leyla straw hat he wears every day. When she thought it would be more beneficial to see Leyla wearing a fancy dress, she no longer regretted giving her money to Madame Mona.

“Leyla.”

Leyla looked towards Bill when he suddenly called out his name.

"What are you planning? Party of the duke.”

“I'll just stop by and show my face. The Etman family was also invited, so I decided to go with Kyle.”2

"really? The herbivorous eater ended up paying for all the food he ate at my house.”

Bill felt a deep sense of relief when he heard Kyle's name. Bill trusted Kyle.

“Although that is so, do you need nothing? Clothes to wear, things like that?”

“I'm fine, uncle.”

“What do you mean you're okay. Are you planning to wear your uniform?”

“It's not a bad idea.”

Leyla sneered while joking. His face looked so calm that Bill daydreamed.

Do I really not know how to raise a daughter?

"NO."

Bill muttered to himself in surprise.

What do you mean, princess? It's nonsense.

He shook his head.

Leyla looked at Bill with a confused expression on her face. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the glittering glasses on his little face.

Bill is well aware of the child's struggle to avoid trouble and is not indebted to him if possible. That's understandable. Nevertheless, he did not know how to comfort her, so he always said things outspokenly to her.

She admits that Ms. Mona, despite the extreme, has made a brilliant decision by surprising Leyla with dresses and shoes.

“Leyla.”

Bill gathered his courage and called out his name again.

“….. The weather is very hot.”

The words he originally wanted to say failed to come out.

Bill cleared his throat after saying useless things. Leyla laughed and gently clasped her hand that was on the armrest of the chair.

I'm the one who should be entertaining you.

Leyla woke up. It was dawn, and the room was filled with ink-colored darkness.

Lying motionless, Leyla slowly looked around.

The familiar ceiling. Window with cream-colored curtains. An old table with several books spread over it. Soft blanket with a slight aroma of sunlight.

I'm in my room.

******* response outgoing relief when he realizes where he is.

He had nightmares after a long time. He remembered when he was left alone in this world and moved his relatives home. Every day, she has recurring nightmares until she meets Uncle Bill. But his memory of the house that instilled his fear of water still remained deep and clear.

'It's all because of him!'

When his uncle was drunk, he expressed his anger at Leyla. He was a shy and reserved man when he came to his senses, but Leyla's uncle remembers being a drunken man five days a week. In the days when he lost his money at the gambling table, he became more aggressive. He had cursed and beat Leyla nonstop.

She hated. She hated. But all Leyla Lewellin, an orphan who has nowhere else to go, can do is bear it.

Leyla desperately tried her best. He helps with homework without rest. He tried to eat less. Like an object placed in the corner of the house, he barely moved. However, the day she was finally evicted from the house, her aunt gave her a paper bag containing some cookies in it. Leyla received the paper bag and said goodbye to her bruised aunt.

Leyla took out a cake and ate it in the back of the carriage before heading to the next relative's house. Her heart was broken because the chocolate cake was so good.

But Leyla wasn't crying. He practiced smiling on the way to his destination. The more she wanted to cry, the brighter her smile became. No one in this world likes to cry as an orphan. His smile improved after being chased away again and again.

But he could not easily smile when he had to cross the border into Berg. Young Leyla believes that the only address she has in her hand is her last hope. If he is left behind again, he is forced to go into an orphanage.

Leyla still cannot forget the day she got her best smile when she met the eyes of Uncle Bill, who was full of warmth and affection. She will never forget the day she finally had a family and a home she always wanted to revisit.

So everything's fine.

Leyla defecated and got out of bed lightly.

The duke's party is tonight. Leyla didn't want to think too much about it or think about it. He planned to proudly attend the party and leave quietly.

Mrs Claudine doesn't know. How willing Leyla is to do anything for Uncle Bill and this warm cabin.

Leyla opened the window. He hastily washed his face and changed his clothes. When he excitedly opened the door, he saw Uncle Bill, who was already preparing to go gardening.

“Let's go together, uncle!”

By the afternoon, the mansion was ready to welcome guests. It was a large-scale party, but it was part of Arvis' daily life.

They did what they had to do in their own positions. All that was left was a sunset to mark the start of the lavish feast. Nobody in Arvis is worried about the success of the party today. Because tonight's party will be perfect, so will everything in Herhardt's name.

Matthias leaves the dressing room with his night coat. He left a colder impression each time he combed his hair back and exposed his forehead and eyebrows. The thin smile on the tip of his lips failed to soften the look of his sharp face and his sharp eyes.

“It went well as per your order, mr.”

Whisper Hessen. Matthias turned around with a cigarette in his hand and slightly raised his eyebrows.

“They left about an hour ago, so the prepared items must have been shipped by now.”

"So that's it."

After nodding, Matthias lit the cigarette butts that were between his lips.

"It's so good."

Hessen lowered her head hearing Matthias reply while slightly smiling.

The news that Claudine invited Leyla Lewellin to the party got to Matthias through her mother's mouth. His mother praised the kind-hearted Claudine, who had shown affection and affection for the poor orphan.

Matthias did not want to resist because he thought it would be quite an entertaining sight. The sight of Leyla arriving at the party in her shabby attire, and Claudine showing her full sympathy and kindness.

Matthias seemed to know what aspect of Leyla Lewellin was stimulating Claudine. Leyla is a shitty little girl, so destroying her self-esteem is fun.3

Thats why.

That's why he wouldn't give it to Claudine. All that pleasure and pleasure is his and hers alone. Matthias von Herhardt doesn't know how to share his possessions with others.

“What should I do with this, sir?”

Hessen pointed to the box near the fireplace where the fire was extinguished. It was a gift box that the chef had prepared for Bill Remmer.

The prize, which was supposed to be delivered to Bill Remmer's cabin today, was transferred here via Hessen. Hessen had traded the chef's gift for the box Matthias had ordered her to prepare.2

Matthias slowly smoked while staring at the gift. It is not difficult to guess what it is without opening it.

“Keep it.”

His orders that came out with cigarette smoke sounded calm.
